The STIKA comes in three models. The SV-8 accepts 8.5-inch wide media and cuts up to 6.2 inches wide. The SV-12 accepts 12-inch wide media and cuts up to 9.8 inches wide. The SV-15 accepts 12- or 15-inch media and cuts up to 13.3 inches wide. They all handle vinyl, paint mask, reflective vinyls, twill, heat transfer, and etching material.

2. Print/Cut Solution

In addition to cutting vinyl and other materials, the new STIKA makes an easy-to-use and cost-effective print/cut solution. Users print registration marks with their desktop printer, load the printed graphic into the cutter, send the file to the STIKA and it contour cuts the graphics. It’s perfect for creating colourful POP displays, and iron ons.

3. CutStudio Software

Every STIKA ships with Roland CutStudio. This powerful design software lets you reduce, re-position, rotate, tile and mirror images. It enlarges images as crisp as original size and cuts TrueType fonts without outlining. CutStudio also supports BMP, JPG, STX, AI, and EPS file formats. CorelDraw and Adobe Illustrator plug-ins are included for Windows 98/SE/ME/2000/XP as well as an Adobe Illustrator plug-in for Mac OS9 and higher

4. Easy to Use

Making professional-looking graphics is a snap with the STIKA. Simply design your graphics with bundled Roland CutStudio software, peel away the excess vinyl, and apply. It’s that easy. You can even contour cut printed graphics using your desktop printer and the STIKA driver.

5. Connectivity

With a convenient USB port, the STIKA offers plug-and-play capabilities for both Mac and PC systems. The USB cable is included!

6. Roland Reliability

Roland cutters have earned worldwide reputation for reliable performance and outstanding results. Today, like all Roland products, they come with an international ISO certification. This signals Roland’s commitment to offering top quality products backed up with first-rate customer service and a wide variety of supplies and accessories.

Over the past 17 years, Roland has sold more than quarter million vinyl cutters worldwide. Most of them are still in production today. Modern Image of Huntington Beach, CA still uses a Roland vinyl cutter that it purchased more than a decade ago. “It runs all day, everyday and has never needed a single repair,” said Robert Wilson, Modern Image president. “Today, we have seven Roland’s lined up and cranking out awesome vehicle graphics.”

Since Roland DG's inception in the early 80s, the company has gone through some remarkable phases of evolution.

Starting with analogue to digital converters, moving through musical synthesisers, then into our first digital X-Y plotter. This became the foundation for later products that would go head to head with the likes of Hewlett Packard and Calcomp in the mainstream engineering and architectural CAD plotter market.

By the mid 90s Roland DG was the world leader in production and distribution of Sign Writing machines with a range of vinyl cutters, engravers and a range of desktop milling machines that can be used for everything from jewellery making to engineering prototyping.

Today Roland DG provides a range of services to people in need of colour work flow and colour management advice throughout New Zealand and Australia.
